Few game studios survive more than 10 years, but MF is still going strong and to celebrate its 20th birthday it is holding a series of events.
To celebrate in style, the company plans to hold a party on a luxury "Big Boat" in Sydney Harbour, and all present and ex- Micro Forte staff are invited to attend.
The re-union promises to be a huge event as MF has given many developers their first chance to get into the game development industry. The date is Saturday 5th November - 5pm for a 5:30pm start. If you know someone that has worked at MF, please let him or her know about this huge re-union and get him or her to contact Amanda at the address below, if they are interested in coming along.
A cocktail event is also planned for Canberra on the 3rd November to thank the local Canberra community and supporters.
MF's actual birthday is the 4th November. A third event for the entire company is planned for this day but details on exactly what will be happening are a mystery. A video showing MF's 20-year history and the company's huge impact to the local development scene is in the works and it will be shown at the re-union event on the 5th.
If you are eligible for this free junket on the 5th November, you need to contact amandas@canberratechpark.com or contact her on (02) 61625100
I wish I could attend but alas I'm 20000km away. Congrats to everyone involved on making 20 years - no small feat in this industry.
MF was my first studio and I still have fond memories of my time there. Have fun guys!
Not as old as Beam/Melbourne House, but it's up there.
"MF has given many developers their first chance to get into the game development industry". Yep, ripped and fired lots of them too.
